About this blog

I have a long list of hobbies. Posts on this blog will be of a wide range and mix. Pretty much my trials, tribulations and successes will be posted here as I mosey along the long and winding hobby road of life. I fade sometimes. I am trying to be better about that.

I spin. I own a Kromski Polonaise now. This is a big birthday year for me (2009) and so this year called for gifting myself with my dream spinning wheel. Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!

I knit. I am not a great knitter but I keep trying. My first sweater is still in progress. On Ravelry I am SecretSpindle. I dabble in felting as well.

I am in the SCA and my persona is a 1550's Ottoman Turkish woman. Her name is Safiye bint Kara Sun'Allah. I live in the Kingdom of Aethelmearc and the Barony of Thescorre. I am trying to become more involved. This year my daughter joined up with me and is very eager to learn fencing. She got a starter set at Pennsic 38 for her birthday. I love garb creation. She has chosen Italian Ren so that will bring me some costuming challenge. This past year I have worked on making my Turkish garb more accurate. Now time for the detail work. I want to learn the Scribal Arts as well.

Genealogy is a big part of my life. There is a separate blog for that.

Letterboxing. I love to do it but it got lost in the "OMG, I just don't have enough time for all of this!!" shuffle.

A surprise in the mail today from my secret spoiler. My FIRST Lorna's Laces!!!! And how colorful. I just love it. Also came a spiral bound notebook perfect for my purse and this will be my "official" knitting notebook. And yum!! A Heath bar. My daughter was already eyeing that but I draw the line at Heath!

Hello, I just popped by to say thank you for your lovely comment about my sock (soon to be socks!). That yarn in the photo is a great colour! I've never had a Heath bar although I am addicted to Toblerone's at the moment! Take care, EtSu.

Okay... I'm sorry, I'm not "great" at this secret pal thing. Yeah, Jamie is Sock Crazy. This happened one other time and I deleted the comment when I saw my real name post, but I didn't know it would show up and say deleted by author (sorry about that, I felt bad), so this time rather than delete again...I'm fessing up. Yep, Sock Crazy and Jamie--all the same person!
